1986 Dodge Daytona CS [2.2L Turbo Z]

I recently purchased my Daytona CS, and it vibrates like crazy. It sounds
and feels like a muscle car, which is kind of cool, but I'm losing power to
it. My instructor told me (after doing some research on my car) that it was
my balance shafts. After he explained how balance shafts worked, it made
perfect sense. I've decided I want to spend some time in the driveway and
set the timing, but I'd like to get an exact procedure from someone who
knows the 2.2L turbo z engine, just to be safe. It does seem pretty easy
though.

Also, I've stalled the car (automatic) 3 times, each time I've been going
fast up to a corner, and braking/turning hard, then it just stops dead. I
cannot for the life of me figure this out. If anyone has an idea, I'd love
some help.

Thanks a bunch!!

Bloody August

My guess would be that your spark plugs aren't clean enough and the battery
is too weak so that when you are breaking and steering hard there isn't
enough power going to the coil to generate a good spark. It would also
explain why the car is running rough. This time of year when it starts
getting cold again is when many batteries give out... Reminds me of my
friend's piece of shit beamer: step on the breaks and the radio turns off!
:laughing:
